Chapter 52 Lily knew she would be rejected but did not expect to be turned down this quickly. Jenny
Thorn’s office door was shut tight, and her assistant would not let Lily in. She claimed Jenny was
currently in a meeting and that non-permanent staff could not enter. Half an hour of waiting later, Lily
realized that Jenny’s meeting would not end anytime soon. Instead of simply waiting outside, she opted
to enter the room unannounced.
Jenny’s assistant did not expect Lily to barge into the room, so she was helpless in stopping Lily and
could only follow behind, yelling, “Ms. Thorn, she…” “Who gave your permission to enter?” Jenny
glanced briefly at Lily and commented in a crude tone, “There’s a meeting going on here. Unauthorized
personnel should get out!”
“I’ve officially joined Rebirth as permanent staff. On that account, I’m allowed to join the meeting as a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstaff member for this project, not just some unauthorized personnel,” Lily elaborated while walking
toward an unoccupied chair and sitting down.
Jenny stared at her with disapproving eyes. “What does it matter if you’re a permanent staff member?
As long as I deem you unfit for my team, you’ll never be accepted for this project.” Everyone else at the
conference table quickly lowered their heads, pretending to be preoccupied with something other than
the palpable tension in the room. They have all heard about the rumors circling Lily Christian. They
knew that their boss, Jenny, was not happy with Lily. However, Jenny had no choice but to accept Lily
as it was under the orders of their director that Lily was to join their department. In their eyes, Lily was a
controversial figure with a troublesome past and dubious skills. Why did their director force Lily to join
the team against his most capable subordinate’s objections? It could only mean that something was
going on between him and Lily.
Regardless of Lily’s working abilities, she clearly had quite a talent with men. It was surprising to them
how easily she could manipulate their director. “Okay then, what should I do to win your approval? I’m
willing to accept any challenge,” Lily said, shrugging casually. Just as Charles had mentioned, Jenny
had a short fuse and was always frank. However she was not a malicious person and excelled at her
job. It was best to resolve any issues Lily and Jenny had up front, as they would need to work together.
Otherwise, they would always be at odds.
Honestly, Lily would much rather deal with Jenny, as Jenny was a genuine person. Instead of
pretending that she liked you and then stabbing you in the back, Jenny was more likely to confront Lily
directly if she was unhappy with something. Unlike the underhanded ways of Nathaniel and Melanie,
Lily preferred someone ‘mean’ on the surface, like Jenny.
“Pfft!” Jenny laughed as she glanced at Lily with taunting eyes, obviously not believing in Lily’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabilities,
“Talk is cheap. Are you sure you’re up for the challenge? There’s no backing out,” her lips finally gave
way to a small smile, but a mocking one.
Lily nodded with determination, “I’m a woman of my word. Suppose I succeed in whatever challenges
you throw at me. In that case, you’ll have to allow me into your project and agree to
work together. Deal?”
“All right, and if you fail, you’ll go to Mr. Will, quit, and leave Rebirth!” Jenny remarked sternly as the
room went completely silent.
However, Lily did not back down, “Deal!”
